Hamilton Nolan · 12/04/13 12:36PMHow Much Higher Should the Minimum Wage Be? (Much Higher)
Hamilton Nolan · 12/02/13 10:59AMLast week, voters in SeaTac, Washington voted to raise the minimum wage for airport workers to $15 an hour.

Hamilton Nolan · 11/07/13 01:13PMThe new Pope, Francis: great guy. He loves the poor. He's cool with atheists. He's even pretty chill about gay marriage and abortions. Yesterday's photos of him embracing a severely disfigured man were genuinely touching. Still, the best thing that this nice Pope could do would be to dismantle the Catholic Church.
